"What if it didn't work?" Blake asked nervously as he waited with
Tori and Taylor in the doctor's office. The week had passed quickly, and
now they were anxiously awaiting the news.
Tori turned to him and kissed his cheek. "I feel so much better. . . I don't see how it couldn't have."
Taylor was staring out the window with her arms wrapped around her. All her fears were realized while in Blue Bay Harbor. She feared more than anything loosing Tori- the only family she had left in the world as far as she was concerned. She always hated her father for not allowing her to see Tori. He could never get over the fact that he and her mother had divorced and that she had remarried. After he walked out on Taylor, she shut herself away from everyone.
She turned and looked at Tori- she had her head rested against Blake's shoulder. She smiled and prayed that the results would show positive results. Dr. Jones came in and sat next to Tori on a stool.
"Alright Miss Hanson," he said taking a deep breath. "I've gone over this three times and each time the results are clear as crystal- there is no trace of cancer anywhere in your body." Tori's face lit up and Blake kissed her forehead. Taylor let out a huge breath she was holding and placed her head in her hands.
'Thank you,' she said to the sky.
"I've never seen anyone recover this quickly," the doctor said. "It's really remarkable Tori. I'm so happy for you," he said. Tori got up and gave him a hug.
"Thank you so much- for everything," she whispered. They parted and he left her with some after care instructions before he left. As soon as he left, Taylor descended upon Tori in a fit of tears. Tori too was crying outright. "Thank you Taylor for saving me." Taylor then began to cry more. Tori was alright. . .
(((((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))
After they had left the hospital, Tori and Blake went to the academy to tell everyone the good news. Taylor on the other hand went back to her hotel room.
Tori was alright. . . everything was going right in her little sister's life at last. There were only a few things missing from the picture- and she knew what she would have to do.
She reached into her bag and pulled out a small box- inside was the same picture Tori had of she and her, as well as one of her mother. . . she never went anywhere without them. She reached around and found what she was looking for- a key to a safe deposit box at the Bank in Blue Bay Harbor.
After her mother passed away, Taylor was given all of her mother's valuables because Tori wasn't yet of legal age. Now that she was, Taylor knew what she had to give her. She made her way over to the bank, entered the safe room, and took out a small wooden box that was inside. After returning the key, she went back to her room and opened the contents.
Inside were two small velvet boxes, and two bond checks. Taylor recognized the bonds- she and Tori had been given them when they were born. She took hers and placed it in her pocket- she would be using it shortly. She then opened the two boxes- each of them contained a beautiful ring. The first was from when her mother had married her father- it was silver with a single diamond set in the center. The other was also silver, but there was a sapphire in the center, with two small diamonds on either side of it.
She took out the diamond and placed it on her right ring finger. She remembered when she was little, she always would think it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. . . maybe someday she would be able to wear it on her left hand instead. . .
She placed the ring back in the box and took the other one. She smiled as she though of the look on her sister, and her future brother in law's faces when she gave them her little surprises. Picking up her cell phone and a phone book, she turned to the sporting goods section and found the name of a bike dealer. . . (((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))
"Alright- thank you so much," Taylor said as she hung up her cell phone. She had just walked out to the beach were Blake and Tori were sitting with the others. It was later in the day, and the sun was getting low.
"Who were you talking to?" Tori asked. Taylor stood and looked out at the water.
"You'll find out tomorrow," she said with a smirk on her face. Tori and the others all looked at her and had to smile- they knew she was up to something. "Blake? Could I talk to you for a second?" she asked. Blake got up and followed her away from the others. She stopped and handed him the ring box.
"What's this?" he asked a he opened it. Taylor didn't say anything and watched his eyes go wide.
"It was our mother's when she married Tor's dad," Taylor said. He looked up at her, still unable to speak. She then reached into her pocket and handed him a piece of paper. He opened it and again, it seemed as though his eyes were bugging out of his head. He looked down at a receipt for a new, top of the line 250 bike.
"Taylor, I, I can't accept this," he said handing it back to her. She pushed his hand back.
"Yes you can. Tori told me what you did, and lets just call this is an engagement gift." Blake looked at the paper again and smiled as wide as he could. "It'll be delivered to your house tomorrow." Blake enveloped her in a tight hug.
"Thank you so much Taylor," he said as he pulled away. "Now that I have this," he said holding up the ring, "I can do this right."
"What do you think they're doing?" Hunter asked.
"Well, you can ask them yourself," Cam said as he saw them walking back. Blake stopped in front of Tori and helped her to her feet.
"What are you-" she stopped as she saw him get down on his knee and open the box Taylor had given her. Tears sprung in her eyes, as she turned to Taylor with a questioning look in her eyes. Taylor smiled back and nodded her head in answer. Tori looked down and saw her mother's ring.
"Tori, will you marry me?" he asked. Tori gave him a teary smile.
"Yes," she said again. This time their friends and family were all there cheering them on as Blake placed the cool band on her finger. Blake stood up and kissed her fully on the lips. Taylor stood back and watched as they held each other. Suddenly she felt very lonely, and found herself missing Eric.
Her thoughts were interrupted by Tori running over to her and grabbing her in a tight hug. "You are the greatest sister I could ever ask for," she said. Taylor pulled away and looked at Tori. She was glowing with joy. "Blake told me what you did for him and I know how you did it," she said. Taylor pulled out another piece of paper and handed it to Tori.
"I got yours too," she said handing her the bond. Tori looked at it and hugged Taylor again.
"I love you so much Taylor," she said hugging her again.
"I love you too Tori- never forget that."
((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))
Later that night, Tori lay awake in bed staring at her ring. Blake lingered in the doorway in his boxers watching her. Today had been one of the greatest in his life- Tori was fine, she had agreed to be his wife (again) and he had received a great gift from Taylor. Everything was right in the world. He looked at her lying there in one of his oversized Motocross shirts and thought she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen.
"You shouldn't lurk in doorways," she said, not taking her eyes off her finger. He smiled and made his way over to the bed. As soon as he lay down, she placed her head on his chest and held him close.
"It looks beautiful on you," he said taking her left hand and kissing it. Tori sighed and snuggled closer to him.
"I never thought I'd see this again- let alone wear it," she whispered. Blake kissed her temple and wrapped his arms around her.
"Would she have like me?" he asked. Tori looked to him and smiled.
"Yes- she would have loved you. . . my dad would have too," she said. "I wish they were here." Blake felt her tighten herself around him.
"I know- I wish mine were too. . . I know they would have loved you as much as I do," he said. They were both silent for a while, holding each other.
"They are here Blake. They'll always be with us as long as we keep them," Tori whispered at last. Blake smiled and turned to kiss her sweet lips. Tori's eyes closed and Blake reached a hand to her cheek. He pulled away and turned off the light on the nightstand.
"You're right Tor- they will be," he said as he pulled her to him. They met for one final kiss before sleep took them.
(((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))))
"She wants me to what?" Taylor asked Eric in disbelief. He had called her when she got back to the hotel.
"Jen wants you to be her maid of honor," he repeated. "I mean, she says you guys have so much in common, and since I'm Wes' best man she thought it would be a good idea. . ."
"Who else is in the wedding?" she asked sipping her water.
"Alyssa, Cole, Carter and Dana Greyson, and Kelsey and Ryan Mitchell. They were all rangers too. I guess they helped them out a while back and they've all been friends since."
Taylor lay on her bed in her Air Force sweats. "When is all this happening again?" she asked.
"They moved it ahead- it's in two weeks," he said.
"Two weeks! Are you serious! I need a dress, a gift for them, a ride back-"
"Easy Earhardt," Eric said cutting her off. "The dress is already here, all you need to do is get it fitted. I got them a gift, and it can be from the two of us. As far as a ride back, I was thinking of coming to get you tomorrow," he said smiling.
Taylor sat up. "You're coming here tomorrow?" she asked.
"Well, I figured everything here is okay and if Tori's okay for now, I can come get you tomorrow night, and we'll leave the day after. . . I haven't been able to sleep you know," he said.
Taylor smiled. "Are you getting all sappy on me Myers?" she asked playfully. Eric let out a small laugh.
"Oh God, don't say that- I don't want to turn into Wes. . . but I do miss you Taylor." Taylor blushed.
"Well then it looks like I'll be seeing you tomorrow," she replied.
"Tomorrow then," he said. They hung up and neither of them could sleep that night with the anticipation of seeing each other,
(((((((((((((((((((((())))))))))))))))))))))
Tori woke up late in the morning and saw Blake was gone. She got up and found his motocross gear gone as well. She smiled, got herself ready and headed out to the track.
Sure enough, Blake was riding around. Tori went over and took a seat on a chair that was next to the storm chargers van. She smiled as she saw Blake go whizzing past her and then turn back. He parked the bike and took off his helmet. Tori stood and walked over to him.
Blake grabbed her tightly and kissed her. "So I take it Taylor got the right one?" she asked pulling away. Blake smiled.
"This is incredible! How did she know?" he asked. Tori shrugged her shoulder and kissed his cheek.
Blake got off his bike and sat in the chair with Tori in his lap. "I think she's leaving soon," Tori said leaning on his shoulder. "She told me she was staying until she knew I was better."
"And now that you are you don't want her to go," Blake said. Tori sighed.
"I don't want her to leave me again."
"And I told you I won't," Taylor said peaking out from behind the van. Tori and Blake looked at her surprised.
"What are you doing here?" Tori asked hugging her. Taylor sat down.
"Well, I thought I'd come by and see how the bike is. . . not to mention that I needed to talk to you," she said to Tori. Blake took it as a hint and got up from underneath Tori.
"the bike works great Taylor!" he said as he started it up and drove off. Tori watched him with a dreamy look in her eyes.
"don't tell me you're thinking of taking that up now," Taylor said. Tori came out of her trance and looked at Taylor.
"It's pretty fun actually- you and Eric should come down and watch him and Hunter race sometime. . . so what did you want to talk to me about?"
"Eric's coming today and we're leaving tomorrow morning. Some friends of ours are getting married and the wedding got moved up," she said.
"So when are you coming back?" Tori asked, a little afraid of the answer.
"I told you Tori, I'm not going away again- not like before." Tori gave her a small smile.
"You really want to give up the Force?"
"Yes and no," Taylor responded truthfully. "I'm going to miss flying everyday, but I want to be able to get out and just be me for once. Not a ranger, not a Lieutenant- just Taylor."
"No one deserves it more than you Tay," Tori said. "But I will need some help coming up. . . you know- with the wedding."
A large grin spread across her face. "What are big sister's for?" they both laughed and began to plan things as best they could. Blake joined them a little while later, and they decided to head back to the academy.
((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))
"What about this?" Hunter asked. They were all gathered in the sitting room of the academy. Tori and Blake had a calendar in their hands, and they were thinking about a good time to get married.
"We have finals here," Shane said. He took the calendar and looked again. "What about here?"
Tori looked at it. "Shane! That's like three weeks from now!" she said laughing. Shane smiled.
"You're point is?" he said. Blake looked at her.
"I don't think that would be so bad," he said. Taylor stared at him.
"I think you guys are all nuts. I mean it takes months to plan a wedding," she said. She looked at Tori who suddenly had a huge grin on her face. "What are you thinking?"
"Well, I was just thinking that it wouldn't have to be anything HUGE. I mean, we could do it here, couldn't we Cam?" she asked. Cam smiled.
"Absolutely. I think Dad would be honored to perform the ceremony," he said.
"you mean like the ninja ceremony?" Dustin asked.
"Yeah- that would be perfect- I mean we're both ninjas after all," Blake supplied. "Plus we wouldn't have to go and get tuxes and shit- just our uniforms."
Tori leaned over and kissed him softly. "I think that's the greatest idea you've ever had." Blake wrapped his arms around her waist and smiled.
"Whoa whoa," Taylor said. "Time out. This is what you really want? Hell if that's the case why not just get married tomorrow?" She paled when she saw Tori's face light up.
"I think that could be arranged easily enough," Tori said grinning. "What do you think?" she asked Blake.
His grip around her got tighter and he kissed her forehead. "I think I need to go find Sensei and you need to get a dress." All the guys were excited, and Tori turned to Taylor to see what she had to say.
Taylor was in shock. She wasn't really serious about this, but if it was what they wanted, she'd help. "Well, I guess we have to go shopping then," she said a little out of breath. Tori ran to her and grabbed her in a tight hug.
(((((((((((((((((((()))))))))))))))))))))))
"What about this one?" Taylor said as she held up another dress for Tori to look at. Tori looked over- it was a white corset top with a long flowing skirt.
"It's nice," was all she said as she turned back. Taylor sighed and put it back with the other 50 or so ones she had picked out. They were at the mall looking for the 'Tori dress' as Taylor had put it. Taylor knew her sister hated wearing dresses as much as she did, but they had to find one.
Tori looked through the selection of gowns again before she turned back to Taylor. "This is hopeless! I mean- I don't want this huge dress, but I at least want SOMETHING!" Taylor grinned and put her arm around her shoulder.
"This is kind of fun you know," she said grinning. "We missed out on this whole shopping thing together." Tori smiled at her.
"Yeah we did, but now that we have to chance to, I really want to get out of here. I'll just go in my uniform I guess," Tori said putting her head down. Taylor nudged her shoulders.
"No way- we're going to find it if it's the last thing we do." With one more smile, they set off again.
Three stores and many curses later. . .
"Taylor!" Tori shouted. Taylor spun around and looked at what Tori had in her hand. "Well?" she asked. Taylor looked at it, and the look on Tori's face told her that this was the one.
"It's very. . . you," she said, Tori smiled. Taylor held up a pale yellow strapless dress. "What do you think for me?"
Tori gave her an approving nod, and they went to pay for their dresses.
Tori turned to him and kissed his cheek. "I feel so much better. . . I don't see how it couldn't have."
Taylor was staring out the window with her arms wrapped around her. All her fears were realized while in Blue Bay Harbor. She feared more than anything loosing Tori- the only family she had left in the world as far as she was concerned. She always hated her father for not allowing her to see Tori.
